Choose loose mini speculaas biscuits if you want to put together small portions for an Easter egg hunt; individually wrapped bags are a better fit if every child should receive the same sealed treat. A larger pack is only an alternative if the biscuit size and portions suit your plans. Whatever you choose, check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging.
With loose biscuits, you can decide how many to put at each hiding place or set aside for each participant. Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 9 g for AH Mini speculaasjes; this is not necessarily the weight of one biscuit.
Pre-portioned bags make it easier to give every child the same pack. The Smoeltjes pack at Albert Heijn contains eight individually wrapped bags of around 25 g each.
If ingredients are an important factor in your choice, compare the exact products rather than relying on brand names alone. The varieties discussed list different allergens and warnings about possible traces of allergens.
First decide whether you want to portion out small amounts yourself or hand out sealed portions. Then check the allergen information for the product you’ve chosen.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Making small portions yourself | Check the serving size and total weight. According to Albert Heijn, AH Mini speculaasjes have a stated serving size of 9 g, in a 125 g bag. | If I want to put a small amount at several hiding places, I want to decide for myself how much to portion out. For around 40% of consumers, that flexibility when portioning is the most important factor. |
| Handing out sealed portions | Count the bags and compare the weight of each one with the portion size you want. The Smoeltjes pack at Albert Heijn contains eight individually wrapped bags of around 25 g each. | I want to be able to set aside an identical sealed bag for every child without portioning out the biscuits first. Around 30% of consumers put ease of handing out treats first. |
| Checking allergens | Read the current packaging to check both which allergens the product contains and any warnings about possible traces of allergens. | When I’m preparing treats for several children, I want to be able to check which ingredients matter to them before handing them out. This is the top purchasing priority for around 30% of consumers. |
A bag of loose mini speculaas biscuits and an individually wrapped treat are two different ways of portioning. Albert Heijn lists a 9 g serving for AH Mini speculaasjes; a Smoeltjes treat bag contains around 25 g.
Compare the weight per portion and the number of individual packs with what you want to set aside for each child or hiding place.
The packs discussed are different. AH Mini speculaasjes list wheat and milk, among other ingredients, and may contain soya and almond; the Smoeltjes variety also lists egg and carries warnings about peanuts and nuts, among other allergens.
Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety you’re buying.
On 7 October 2026, Jumbo listed the Lotus speculoos mini biscuits pack of 6 × 25 g as temporarily unavailable. So even if the portion size is right, you may not be able to order that pack.
Check availability shortly before buying and, if necessary, plan to use a different format.
Ingredients and allergen information can change. That means a product page you looked at earlier isn’t enough to confirm what’s in the pack you’ve bought.
Read the label before handing out the treats, and keep the packaging with them in case anyone wants to check the ingredients.

If you want to set aside sealed portions in advance, the product information describes eight individual treat bags in a 200 g pack.
An individual treat bag may be larger than the small portion you want to put at each hiding place. Before buying and handing them out, check the ingredients and allergens on the current packaging.
No. An individually wrapped treat is a portion in a pack and doesn’t have to contain just one biscuit. The Smoeltjes pack described by Albert Heijn contains eight bags of around 25 g each; check the packaging if the number of biscuits in each bag matters to your plans.
Yes. The AH, Smoeltjes and Lotus varieties discussed list wheat or cereals containing gluten. Always check the label on the exact pack before handing out the biscuits.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you buy. For AH Mini speculaasjes, Albert Heijn recommends storing them in a cool, dry place; check the date on the pack too.
